Since going Paleo my family has fallen even more in love with our grill. Paleo and grilling just work well together. The past couple of years I've even been stepping outside my grilling comfort zone more and more. Grilling things I'd never thought to have grilled before and trying new flavor combinations. I have to say I'm pretty thrilled with the results of most of my flavor experiments. In the past I'd never have thought to grill fruit, but it's amazing. Grilling fruit and adding it to traditionally savory dishes? Brilliant. Oh yes, and? New rule: every burger recipe for the rest of forever must contain grilled pineapple. OK, maybe more of a guideline. It's a seriously delicious combination though. This Smoky Grilled Pineapple Burger is always a crowd-pleaser at my house. It's not only Paleo, but Whole30, glutenfree, lower carb, and clean eating friendly. I promise you won't miss the bun! paleo, grilled pineapple burger, smoky
A while back NUX USA featured me as Inspirational Woman of the Week during their Fit Mom's Month. (A huge thank you to NUX for choosing me, I was honored).
Are you following NUX USA on instagram? |
As part of that they sent me a beautiful NUX outfit.
Isn't it gorgeous?! The fabric is so soft. Did you know NUX is made in the USA? Love that. |
Why?
To track my progress.
Yes, I weigh, I measure, I track my progress in many ways. But...
There's just nothing like having that GOAL OUTFIT.
A goal outfit calls to me. It entices me in a way the scale cannot. "You know you want to wear me," it says. "We'll have such a wonderful time doing yoga together," it coaxes. "You and I are going to look so amazing together," it tempts. Somehow it manages to keep my mindset in a more positive place than scale watching.
A goal outfit also makes the finish line so much more tangible than some number floating out in space. I can see where I'm going with a goal outfit. I can try it on and see how far I've come, how far I need to go.
To me having a goal outfit is just all around a more positive way to track my progress than only focusing on the scale. We all know how the scale can mess with our heads!

How do you track your progress? Do you have a goal outfit?
I will rock that outfit. Just you wait. Oh yes, there will be pics...
